Do you know if they will take the standard time to deduct the suprise boxes $ (like shows, they deduct usually when my show is delivered). OR does it automatically get taken out that day? I ask because my Director is getting my a box tomorrow and I need to make sure I have enough to cover it NOW? or I wonder if it will deduct when it delivers which is ok cause it's past payday:rolleyes:.

Do you all know how much the $25 suprise box costs to ship also?? TIA!
 
Shipping is deducted from your next commission, not your account.

PC still hasn't hit my debit card for the actual boxes, nor has Merrill.

I combined a 25, 10 and 15 boxes and it was $14 for shipping, one $10 box with a stoneware crock and my minis cost $8 to ship.

Ok good, thanks for the info! I am ok then, if they deduct shipping from the next commission check!

I remember it being around $15 for shipping for the $50 boxes last year. So maybe half that??
 
I received my surprise box last saturday and they haven't deducted cost yet.

The FE person that I talked to said it would be deducted out of my next commission.

Glad you were able to get some boxes then Christina!! Sorry I was not able to get them for you - they were being pretty strict the day I was there (end of Day 1).

I got my boxes at the end of Day 1 (Monday) and received them Thursday.

Go ahead and share away!The only things we can't talk about are new products and promotions. There is no reason why we can't talk about any of the other fun stuff!
 
Cool!!! I'm so happy with what I got!

My first box, was a $25 box - I got:

-Simple Additions Striped Rectangle Platter
-Tool Turn About (White)
-Deep Dish Baker
-White Kitchen Shears
-2 Microfiber Towels
-Slice and Serve
-Red Hotpad Trivet
-2 packages of Twixit Clips
-Stainless Steel PC 20th Anniversary Mug
I know I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff...

The second box was a $25 box as well. I got the Patriotic Tablecloth and basket liner and a lady paid me $20 for it! So the box really only cost me $5.00

In that one I ended up with:

-Old three tiered stand
-2 more Microfiber towels
-Kitchen towels from Fall 2006 (2 sets)
-4 Cranberry Napkin Rings
A bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting :)

I was really happy with both boxes

What was in the Memorabilia $25 boxes, I am dying to know!!!
 
This is the list of EVERYTHING that was in my boxes (3 "oldies but goodies) and 1 "supreme surprises."

Memorabilia ones were all gone! A clustermate complained that all of them had last year's tote.

Quik Stir pitcher: 2 quart

Tumblers, set of 4 (qty. of 2)
Kitchen shears, old style white
Halloween cutter set (Pumpkin, ghost, bat) (qty of 4)

Toaster bags
Easy opener
Easy pies and tarts recipe card set (qty of 2)

DOH, I am soo dying to know, since my Director scored one for me!!!!
 
Just an FYI they just deducted my $50 box from my checking account. Box was ordered on first day of conference.
 
For those wondering about shipping, it would totally depend on what was in your box, since it's based on weight. I got a Memorabilia box and plan to use the items for team incentives. But then I put my Merrill purchases in there, too, to ship home. It was $10 (I think) to ship. And that was with:
2004 conference tote (the one with the catalog window)
2007 conference tote
beaded cookbook/recipe card holder
Cranberry and Sage linens set
stoneware crock
Halloween cutters
(I don't remember what other products were in there)
Added by me to ship home:
25 calendars
HWC fleece jacket
letterhead
envelopes
travel toiletries bag
pink diaper/tote bag
catalog post its (the gotta have it, etc. ones)

wow you got some good things I so can't wait to get mine i am hoping there is a hwc fleece jacket in mine.
 
The fleece jacket was something I bought at Merrill - I put it into the box to ship home. All the things in my list below the parenthetical comment were things I bought.
 
I got 6 boxes and a few were bought for me since I helped my clustermate who was on crutches and a wheelchair. I don't even want to know, each box was about $8.00, I scored some good stuff. I am bummed, I went back to get a memorbilla (totally spelled wrong I know) and they were out). 3 were here when I got home Saturday night.
 
Mine just hit my account today ... and I got them on day 2 of wave 1.
